Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Bar Chart

    Hi again, regarding my last post asking how to convert the Interactive Pie chart to a Interactive Bar chart. The actual task is to display this chart on the actual form containing the live field data.
    On the press of a button, I run a script which generates random numbers, and as the data contained in 20 numeric fields changes, I want the Bar chart to instantly reflect those changes.
    Any advice most welcome.

    Hi Fred,

    Have you built a Bar Chart yet?

    If yes what was the data source?

    You can make the code for the Chart run from a button instead of the OnFetch event.

      Re: Bar Chart

      Hi Keith, thanks for your reply. All I have done so far is modify the existing code for the Interactive Pie Chart, but I would prefer a Bar chart in this application. The reason I want an interactive chart is that as soon as the data changes on the existing form, it is instantly reflected in the chart. I have managed to create similar charts that work from buttons, but in this instance I need an Interactive one.

      Regards
      Fred

        Hi Fred,

        Have you looked at the Bar Graph in Alpha Sports?

        It is found from the Miscellaneous Examples button, Main Menu.

            In addition to Keith's suggestion I suggest that you look at look at Alpha5's "Sample andTutorial Databases: Learning xDialog and Using ActiveX Controls on Forms They have examples of interative active charts using both SimpleChart and Microsoft Chart.

                The interactive pie chart example in the help files is a great place to try out. Beware however that
                a) you need microsft office on your machine
                b) you need to know the name of the office chart activex, and substitute it in the line
                Code:
                Graph.class="owc.chart"
                on my machine this would be
                Code:
                Graph.class="owc11.chartspace.11"
                then it works

                you can easily, even dynamically, change the pie chart to a bar or other type of graph by changing the value in the line
                Code:
                 Chart.Type = 18
                to other values as in the list http://support.alphasoftware.com/alp...ed_Chart_Types
                hope this helps

                    Hi Fred,

                    Don't know as did not bother to upgrade to office 2007 after beta testing.

                    To check your version. Create a blank form (based on any table), add an activex control to it, a dialog will open with all activex controls available on your machine, click the by name radio button at the top, then filter button at the bottom, enter something like *.chart and press ok. you should see a shortened list of controls, the one that begins with owc is the name you want.
